Re: [FW-1] How to convert Single Gateway to Distributed config?



You can't split the management off of a Single Gateway firewall -- the license
is for "management of a single enforcement point."
An upgrade is needed if you have a single gateway for 25- to 250-users.

If, however, you have an Enterprise Center (unlimited-users, mgmt, with or
without encryption license), you may do this.
But you have to visit the CheckPoint Licensing Center to migrate the license.
You need the original Cert Key, the IP address of the firewall,
and the IP address of the MANAGEMENT CONSOLE. So, you must split the license
before you can split the installation.

If there is any doubt, do an FW PRINTLIC to verify the features. If you have
v4.1 (2000), then you will find your Cert Key in the output "CK-x yyyy zzzz"

Hi,

I used to have a similar problem (though not caused by splitting the
managment off). Even though the control.maps looked the same it turned out
that the formatting of the files was affecting them. I seem to remember that
i tried to use a control.map created on IPSO on an NT machine and it
completly threw it, but on the IPSO it was fine.

hope this is of some help.

Hi,

I have a firewall running as "single gateway" on Solaris (sparc).
I will need to manage a second firewall so I prefer to split the
management module to a separate machine. According to the VPN-1/FW-1
administration Guide (p.71) this should be possible by either
reinstalling the firewall as "distributed setup" or "alternatively, you
can creconfigure by manually modifying $FWDIR/conf/master...".
Since reinstalling the firewall will mean too much downtime, I tried
the second solution. After doing an "fw putkey" on both machines
and restarting the management module I get the following output when
trying to restart the firewall:

------------------
FireWall-1: Starting fwd
FireWall-1:  Starting fwm (Remote Management Server)

FireWall-1: Fetching Security Policy from 192.168.1.1 10.1.1.1 localhost
Trying to fetch Security Policy from 192.168.1.1:
FW: Received new control security key from 192.168.1.1
Authentication for command fetch failed
Fetching Security Policy from 192.168.1.1 failed
Trying to fetch Security Policy from 10.1.1.1:

Installing Security Policy policy on all.all@charon
Fetching Security Policy from 10.1.1.1 succeeded

FireWall-1: Starting cpmad (Malicious Activity Detection)
FireWall-1 started
-----------------

Apparently the firewall can reach the management server but I
always get "Authentication for command fetch failed". (Note: I checked
lib/control.map on both machines, both contain the same encryption schemes,
both servers run the same version of the firewall with the same encryption
options)

Any suggestions? Anybody done this before?

Thanks in advance,

Nico
